Open Internet Explorer and go to Tools/Manage Add-ons/Enable or Disable
Add-ons.

You will be able to View, Enable, Disable, or Delete the add-on from there.
It very likely that the problem is an outdated version of the Flash.OCX.

RE: Internet Explorer loads then freezes

You can't delete,and then reinstall IE7.
It is part of the vista operating system.

Go to the above link at Adobe, who releases Flash.
Use their uninstall tool to remove it, then reinstall the latest version
from their Website.
